I've been the message below for, what, a year or so now, so I guessed
it's time to forward it ;-)
The snipped parts are not relevant and can also not relate to this bug,
as I've had the man-db bug way longer than those others.
I've no idea what's going on, though I'm sure as hell it's reproducable
:-) So I'll be willing to provide more info based on your instructions
how to, if possible.
I've a big guess that this might be Sparc (classic)-specific, as it's
never been filed or fixed within this long period. FYI, a sparc classic
has a big-endian 32-bits Sparc CPU (vs. Intel little-endian).
Thanks,
Stefan Rieken

Since sarge is stable now, I'm closing this bug.
